PC Sewell and Titan find and recover the truck, but cannot pick up a scent and the driver and passenger both escape.

The pair also get involved in the stop of a Ford Focus driver, who legged it into a housing estate in East Middlesbrough.

Titan found a scent and led him to a path, with PC Sewell encountering a man walking the other way. He fit the description of the driver, but had dumped his tracksuit top. He was then caught using dashcam footage and arrested.

A man was later charged with suspicion of driving with no insurance.

Later in the episode, a man caught driving a 4x4 without insurance and with only a provisional licence, towing a large car, was dealt with at court.

The man who was in control of the car being towed, who was in breach of a driving ban, was also dealt with - despite his protestations that he had done nothing wrong, as the car didn’t have a battery.

Another woman admitted she had been drinking behind the wheel in Hartlepool, after crashing into a lamp-post.
